Why Every Stroke Survivor's Journey is Different 

I was able to walk my dog last night for the first time by myself two years into my recovery. I have left side paralysis and it's because of this woman and my perseverance that it was possible. Thanks sooooo much my dear. There's no help in Trinidad for stroke patients. U have made this season of my life a little more liveable because I'm the only one who is here for my furbaby. I made promises to him when I got him an I intend on keeping them. He's the greatest love of my life. Thanks alot Elyse. 💕

At 5 years post stroke, I work hard and STILL see positive changes.

Thank you so much for your help! I can't get an appointment for physical therapy for almost 2 months so all the stroke recovery & PT channels have allowed me to get started now, for free! What a blessing. 🙏💯❤

Love your podcast, very inspiring!!!!!!!!!thanks, stroke survivor Julius in Vero Beach fl

My stroke occurred while I was asleep but I had the worst headache ever for 2 days

I had a stroke in 2021 which left me barely able to walk using two canes. PT helped me recover quite a bit. I used to go cycling on an upright bike but I have recently changed to a recumbent trike. It has brought a good deal of fun back into my life. My thoughts are, do the PT to the absolute best of your ability and don't be afraid of making changes to improve your life.

Best delivery I have seen, I am on board. Two stroke's Corotide arterey 20 days ago

A so thankful that I descover ur utube cuz it helps me understand very well about stroke.

I’m optimistic I will walk again

This is such a great explanation

I had a massive ischemic stroke in October 2020. I was very healthy and active prior to my stroke and I try to continue after just in a different way. My left side is affected and no movement in my arm. I did experience the insurance challenges you mentioned. The gap I find is not knowing what exercises to do to impact my recovery most.

Thanks!

Thank u

Thank you. I really needed to listen to this. (I'd been ignoring it😏) My stoke happened four years ago caused by my foolishness from not taking my blood thinner (that's a long story I won't go into it but suffice it to say I should have spoken to the doctor who prescribed it to me) and thereby had a mild stroke. They were giving me the TPA but I started throwing up and they ceased ministering it. Once I came home I did have an OT and PT that came tomy house. The PT was wonderful. He had me working my leg to the point that now I'm not dragging my foot. (I didn't suffer fron drop foot because I broke my ankle and my foot is now attached to my body so the ankle joint no longer works, before the stroke I walked fine as I also have Charcot foot, but that didn't stop me from getting around. To top it off I'm also diabetic (lol) still I was fine because I had a better diet. So when the stroke happened I was determined to recover, I've never been sick a long time, but now, it's been four years and I still need help with things, especially bathing and getting dressed. Urgh! That drives me bonkers. I love my husband but I don't feel he still should be helping me. At any rate, the OT, when she was suppose to be helping me get a hand on excersising my arm and hand, she'd use the excuse of her granddaughter for not coming by twice a week. The PT was always at my home, the OT, however, was there only three times in a four month period. Even when the PT went on vacation, he had someone cover for him. So my arm and hand was really behind in recovery. Then I went to a stroke clinic outside my home and had a great PT. Then she got a raise and went else where, further away from where I lived. So the people who took over for her tried to have me doing things I wasn't ready for. By now I've pretty much given up hope that my arm and hand will ever work again. After all, the OTs that took over for the one who left all told me to accept my arm and hand never working again. The doctors have said the same thing, but I've SEEN my fingers go straight, yet when I try to make them, nope. I have to rely on my medical insurance, as I'm not rich and can't go every day, or have someone come to my home. I've pretty much given up on OTs. So in order to get my arm and hand working, I've got to do it myself. Maybe it's foolish, but I know it, like my leg, will recover. I just wish it didn't take so long. LOL. So this video helped, a lot. Sorry for making it so long. You gave me hope again. Thank you.

Hello Elyse, my son had a stroke in 2020 which affected his right leg and his hand, the dominant one. He has spasticity, which he is currently getting Botox. He is currently going to PT and OT. They’ve given him homework to do at home but it’s not enough. How much would it cost to have a personal therapist come to the house? He lives in Bronx, NY. Or, is it better for him to sign up at a gym, to work on his right arm/hand, but he would need someone who is familiar with this type of condition, correct? What do you suggest? Thank you Priscilla
